What exercises(if any) did you do? Would you recommend mastering the scales/arpeggios/chords?
As far as advanced students go, it is pretty much up to them to choose what they wnat to play next (unless they are fulfilling requirements for an exam or competition). As such I rarely impose anything - although I may share music I enjoy with them. But to my amazement I discovered a few years ago that my musicla taste was far from universal!Having said that, If I was to suggest a syllabus fo the most important pieces fo the advanced repertory they would comprise only three works. The reason for this choice is that once you master these three works you will be able to master pretty much anything else. unfortunately it may take a life time to master them.Here they are:1. the 48 preludes and fugues of the WTC (Bach)[the old testament]2. the 32 piano Sonatas (Beethoven)[the new testament]3. the 24 piano etudes (Chopin).[Revelation Wink]Best wishes,Bernhard.
I don't praticise exercises. I practise pieces only. All the technique you need is in the pieces.
